What amount of time does everyone recommend for steeping.
I'll be using the following for a Porter:
- 6 oz. Chocolate Malt
- 8 oz. Caramel Malt
I was told just to bring the pot up to a boil, take it off the heat (we'll have a thermometer to keep it at 170) and steep the grains for 3 minutes then to continue on with everything else. However, looking at other recipes I see people steeping for longer. Does the kind of ingredients and beer type change this time around?
I'm making last minute check to make sure everything goes smooth later.
